"A gentleman came into this Office
few evenings ago. There was nothing
strange about that. This is gentlemen's
headquarters. But this gentleman was 10
anything but a good humor. He had
heard that the World had had him mar
ried. He said if it was so, he wouldn't
mind it, but he was not married, and he
did mind it. We informed him that the
World had not had him married, and
that it never married anybody without
the officiating parsons certificate or the
word Of reputable newspaper, which,
generally speaking, we consider equally
good. We saw the gentleman day or
two later. He then informed us that he
had chased down the rumor, and found it
in one of esteemed contemporaries.

RAILROADS AT WAR.
Freight Rates Between Chicago and St
Louis Ruthlessly Cut.

Freight Rates Between Chicago and st.
Louis Ruthlessly Cut.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-The war on freight
rates between Chicago and St. Louis ragged
fiercely to-day, eliminating this evening in
complete Generalization. The Wabash
having met the 10 per cent cut Of the Chi
cago and Alton made yesterday the officials
of the latter road at once announced to
it's patrons and shippers that their
rates by the Alton line were
10 per cent. less than by any competing
line. This meant a further cut of 10 per
cent. which was followed by the Wabash
Company instructing its agents at all com
peting points with Alton TO quote lower
rates than it's rival The consequence of
this was that nobody could tell what rates
were in force, and shippers could ship
their freight at any rate they pleased.
II is not only through, but also
rates to such intermediate points as Spring
field jacksonville, Decatur, etc, that are
demoralized This is true both of dead
freight and live stock. 1t is expected that
tomorrow both roads will be hauling live
stock TO Chicago for nothing. Next week it
seems certain that the fight will extend TO
the passenger business. Such an extension
would not only cut down fares to st. Louis,
but to Kansas City and beyond.

to handle Taylors' freight substantiates
their belief. The fight, as it now stands, is
entirely between the Reading Company
and its employees, and the Taylors' cut no
figure whatever.
Representatives of five assemblies of Read
ing railroad employees, who met at Eliza
bsthport Sunday last in convention and
elected temporary officers for the new
National Trade District Assembly, which
they have formed, and for which charter
has been granted by the General Executive
Board of the Knights of Labor, met tonight
and continued the temporary organization
until the convention meets in Reading, in
the early part of January, to form perma-
nent body. To-night'S meeting also took
notice of the strike and called general con-
vention for tomorrow afternoon to take
further action in the matter.
ALL HANDS TO STRIKE
1t is said upon good authority that word
has been passed along the line of the entire
Reading system, and that all the men in the
service of that company will refuse to go to
work tomorrow morning, and will remain
out until the Port Richmond troubles are
settled.
In referring to the cause of the trouble it
was stated at the Fourth street office of the
Reading railroad that the clear duty of the
company as a common carrier to deliver
W WuOInoOtNCI IL ulRnJ De
consigned, without regard to any question
between the consignee and his employer,
made it necessary for the general manager
to issue orders that the cars in the Port
Richmond yard be moved at once, and that
if the men refused to move them they
should be discharged at once from the SER
vice of the company.
ELIzABETHPoRT's TROUBLE.
In regard to the trouble at Elizabethport
where 121 men were discharged to-day, it
was stated that the company sold 400 tons
of broken coal to be delivered free on board
barge at that point 1t was to be loaded
upon particular barge belonging to the
purchaser of the coal. The company's
hands refused to load the barge, as it was
incumbent upon the company to do as
common carrier. When this was learned
at the general office an order was
issued for the discharge of the
men if they still persisted in refusing to
load the barge. They did refuse and were
they had no discretion under their charter
in the performance of their duty, and that
they must receive freight from and trans
port to and for anyone.
HANDLERS IDLE.
ELIzABETHPoRT, N. j., Dec 23-The
Reading railroad coal handlers refused to-
day to load the Crosscreek Lehigh Coal
Company's vessel at the Elizabethport
docks. They were all about 100 mem laid
off. Shipping is entirely suspended. A
general tie-up is the talk.
MINERS STRIKE.

ing of Fire Bugs.

GLASGOW, KY, Dec. 23.-A mob of some
thing less than one hundred men marched
into Tompkinsville late last night, thirsting
for the gore of five burglars and fire bugs
now behind the bars of the county Jail, but
they found outside and in an armed guard,
every whit as determined as they. Turner
Nelson, William Glazebrook and other
sufferers and losers by robbery and
fire, boldly confronted the mob and ap-
pealed TO the excited men to let the law
take its course with the prisoners; at the
same time telling them that any attempt to
do violence would be met with force from
the guards. and that there would be more
killed outside than inside the Jail. The ap-
peals, or threats, or the two combined, had
the desired effect and the mob dispersed.
The citizens of Tompkinsville have declared
their determination to protect the robbers
from lynching, and they will keep their
word Their conduct is highly commend
able, in the face of the fact that many of
them have been utterly ruined by these
men, and their little town crippled almost

AN AGED COUPLES FATE.
The Husband Dies of Apoplexy and
the Wife Nearly StarYeS.


NEW YORK, Dec 23.-James Miller, a
real estate dealer, about 20 years old, was
found lying dead this morning on the floor
of his home in West Sixteenth street. Be
side him lay his wife, unconscious and dy-
ing. On her face and head were several
gashes. 1t is supposed the couple were at
tackled and beaten by robbers. The discov-
cry was made by a letter carrier, who
knocked at the door about s o'clock. He
received no answer, but heard
labored breathing within that caused him
to think something was wrong. He called
a policeman, who broke the door open Fur
niture, kitchen utensils and crockery were
broken and fragments strewn over the
floor. The apartments are on the ground
floor, and window opening on the yard
was open. Miller was said TO be wealthy.
His wife, the neighbors say, has been in
sane for the past year. She was taken to a
hospital.
NEW VERSION OF THE AFFAIR.
NEW YORK, Dec %, 9P. M.-Miller and
his wife were heard laughing in their rooms
by a family living on the floor above them
on Wednesday afternoon. From that time
until this morning nothing has been seen or
heard of them. Miller was fully dressed,
and across his legs lay an overturned easy
cDalr. 1ne ponce, oH IOheI luNeStisd-
ton, have arrived at the conclusion that
the case was not one of murder or robbery,
but that the old man died of heart disease
in his chair and fell from it, knocking the
chair and stove down in his fall. There
were no injuries on bis body, except con-
fusion of the back of the head, that is not
thought sufficient to cause death. 1t is sup
posed that Mrs. Miller, who was
but one year younger than her husband,
was too weak-minded TO notify the neigh
bors of her husbands death and that her
weak and exhausted condition is due to
starvation, as she was unable to procure or
cook food for herself. Her husband was
accustomed to do all the marketing cook
ing and other household work. The old
couple had little communication with their
neighbOrs.
